CHICAGO, ILL, March 27.-The Farmers'
Rsriew prints for their crop report this
week the following summary: Dry
weather continues to prevail in Kansas
and in portions OF Missouri, which has
caused some injury to winter wheat,
though very few serious reports Of dam.
age are made except in the former State.
In Sedgwick and some Of the other south
ern counties Of Kansas there has been, lit
tie rain since last August. In Atchisop.
franklin, Shawnee and Smith countiea.
the fields lack moisture and the grain has
already been injured by drouth. In Chase
and Republican counties the winter wheat
is reported as looking poorly, while in
Neosho, Marshall and Saline counties the
prospects are favorable. In Holt and Da.
vies counties, Of Missouri, the ground is
very dry, and some injury is reported in
the last named county. The tenor OF the
reports from Missouri however, is still ia
vorable for the crop. The Illinois reports
continue to BE- favorable, aud the outlook
is regarded as very favorable for a full
average crop. The reports from Wiscou-
sin are nearly all favorable. The reports
from Indiana indicate fair crops.
